Soren Bak (11-1) quells the Liverpool
faithful, pillaging Paddy Pimblett en route to a decision win and
the Cage Warriors strap. A deep RNC from Paddy nearly finished it
in the first, but "The True Viking" roared back with relentless
pressure and a stellar top game.

Soren
Bak showed a glacial calm and survived a tight rear-naked choke
for the majority of the first round. After the opening period was
dominated by Paddy
Pimblett, who was attempting to become a two-division Cage
Warriors champ, Bak started to feel more comfortable in the cage.
The fighter from Denmark went on to win the vacant lightweight
title with a sold unanimous decision (48-44, 48-45, 48-46).

Germany's Jonas Billstein (20-5-1) is your
new Cage Warriors Middleweight Champion, submitting late
replacement Mick Stanton with a first-round RNC. The Bellator and
ACB vet rides a six-fight unbeaten streak and has finished 15 of 20
victories, 10 in the first round.

In the co-main event of the evening, German-born Jonas
Billstein defeated local hero Mick
Stanton to win the vacant middleweight belt. Billstein should
have faced Lee
Chadwick, who was stripped of his 185-pound strap at
yesterday’s weigh-in after failing to make weight.

Stanton took the fight on one-day notice and moved up a weight
division and was submitted via rear-naked choke at 3:23 of the
first round.

Jack Grant (15-4) makes his case for a
lightweight title shot, overwhelming Aleksi Mäntykivi with
first-round punches and elbows! The Grimbarian rides a six-fight
win streak and has finished 14 of 15 victories, 13 in the first
round, and eight by knockout.
